[Emc-users] Generic motion.spindle.at-speed pin?

2013-03-17 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
I'm setting up a configuration to use my CNC router as a 3D printer. I'd like to be able to use custom M-codes to set the temperature of the extruder and the heated build platforms. Is there a way, like motion.spindle.at-speed, that I can make the gcode automatically pause until the temperatures

[Emc-users] PC for LinuxCNC with Mesa boards?

2013-03-17 Thread RogerN
I need to convert my mill to LinuxCNC and plan to use Mesa boards, that’s what I used in my lathe conversion and am happy with it. Any recommendations on a PC that plays well with LinuxCNC and Mesa boards? Most of the ones I saw listed are no longer available from Newegg. Thanks Roger Neal

Hi, I'm going to use LinuxCNC to control an art installation which is basically a four axis CNC machine. I'm going to get me a MESA card, a 5i25 should be sufficient. I never used one of these, but I don't expect any serious problems. What bothers me more is where to get suitable motors and

You will not be likely to get 100A through a 1mm conductor. The best solution in this case is a current transformer with a rectifier circuit if it is AC and an Arduino. I am busy with just such a project for my plasma machine. Remember to put a very low ohmage resistor across the transformer
